X-files reboot episode 5 review

This is a real struggle to get through this. The contrast of a really interesting storyline with some inane lines and script made this quite difficult to watch.

There were a few quite creepy sequences but basically the lack of classic feel is really starting to get grating.

Again this seems to be so irreverent that this episode can only be viewed as some kind of parody episode again. This reboot is clearly all about just making fun of of the x-files, it barely makes any attempt to be what made the original show what it was.

After watching these rebooted episodes I tend to go and watch an older episode from season 4 to remind me what the show used to be like.
